Jerribs the Lots of good men, housebroke and ready to stand without hitching are passed by for a lad of 14. THE Bermuda cable has parted. It will undoubtedly be a Merry Christmas for Gov. Wilson. AUTHORESS says that a kiss is the best Christmas gift. Do we hear a second to the motion? BANKS OF THE REGION. The banks of the Calumet region whose statements appear In these columns are a credit to it in every way. WThile none of them have high vaulted ceilings and few have gone in for brass and marble fixtures, only a few are inspecially designed bank ing buildings, they are most all conservative and are backed by good. clean, responsible men. Their statements show a tremend bus growth and after all, considering the fact that many of them are less than ten years old, the showing they have made is remarkable. It will probably be ten years more before the banks of the region fully meet its needs. That is alwaj-s the case in a young rapidly growing com- ' munity like this. It takes millions to finance its development. But every one of them is prosper ing, they are enjoying a steady, healthy growth. There is little manipulation or figures to mase a showing. One bank, for instance has charged off its furniture and fixtures and the premiums on bonds. Another bank is making money so fast that it has declared a number of extra dividends rather than build up Its surplus to unnecessary propor tions. Bank stock in the most con servative banks is considered an ideal

It is to be hop ed that there will be no occasion to lose that confidence that has been built up through years of careful management. An idea of the character of the management of the banks, was shown in 1907 during the money stringency The banks were perfectly safe and at no time was there even a hint of embarrasment. fay rous were taken care or as well as possible and the b inks, al though sharp rivals at othsr times, stood together as one institution. The less experienced had the benefit of the experience of the veterans. Ana it is sucn wno are now in charge of the growing savings and trust funds of the general public. They have been tried with fire, most of them, and have stood the test. THE National Woman Suffrage So iety will have a new constitution But it is to be hoped that it won't fashion this new dress after the hob ble model. A TEXAS washerwoman has been bequeathed $100,000 by one of her clients. It is safe to bet that never put too much starch in shirts. she his SIMPLY CAN'T DO IT. Governor Marshall, discussing (he proposition to defer the inaugural ceremonies, says: "You can't very well have the bridal breakfast six weeks after the ceremony." A very force ful figure, governor, but not exactly felicitous. To be sure, we'd love to think of you as a sweet spring bride. beauteous and blushing, but whether we try to do so there arises a vision of that drooping mustache and that Columbia City quid, which gives you the appearance of having the lumpyjaw, and well, we just simply can't come across wltn the euphemism. Fort Wayne News. PRESS agent trying to call our at tention to the high cost of music. No use, we have a talking machine and a baby in the house. JAPAN'S entire cabinet has resign ed. Puzzle. Why is the Hammond city council not like the Japan cabinet? COOKS AND GOVERNORS. When Governor Marshall, of Indi ana, who will soon be Vice President Marshall of the United States of! America, took occasion to remark that good cooks are more necessary than Governors he hurled a bomb into the midst of a council of Indian apolis women to whom he was giving I a heart-to-heart talk. Just to prove that he meant what he said about good cooks being raorej necessary to the nation than Gover nors, Mr. Marshall admitted all he

had to do to hold office was to draw hla salary and get mad at any one he didn't like, lie didn't say he knew nothing about the baking of a pumpkin pie, but there was a note of regret in his .voice as he elaborated on the art of cokery. "The workers are the ones upon whom our institutions rest," declared the speaker, whereupon a number of women are said to have looked nervous, wondering how things were go

ing at home. You're right, Mr. Governor. Our institutions rest upon the workers. and our constitutions upon the will of the cook. We might worry along with an indifferent Governor, but four years of soggy biscuit and under done vegetables would batter down the health and happiness of the na tion. Cooks are comforting creatures. but they do come high. IT is reported that the third termer has decided not to run again. It doesn't matter in the least however what he has or has not decided. The result will be the same if he does run. AX expert In the Detroit Free Press says that the bedbug is no dis grace. Idle statement when lots of hotes and boarding houses are proud of their bedbugs. IT takes a V ernionter to catch a Vermonter. The legislature of that state has repealed the porcupine bounty law because people have been caught raising the animals for the sRke of the 30 cents. ANGLEWORMS TO THINK. Is science never going to stop pestering? Are scientists merely boys grown up, playing their pleasant little pranks on birds and beasts and the like, instead of stoning frogs? What, for example, has the angle worm ever done to the investigators that his sanctity must be Invaded and he, himself, turned inside out and outside in to learn if he can think? From time immemorial A. Worm has gone his placid, unobtrusive way. "saying nothing to nobody and doing nothing to nobody," happy to exist. Now a heartless professor of psychol ogy in Harvard, Yerkes by name, has found out that the angleworm has a brain pan. Knowing that an angleworm will always crawl out of a lighted place into a dark one, the i professor put the worm, which he was experiment ing on, Into a glass dish in which were two dark holes. The right hand hole was merely a regular earth cavi ty. The left hand one, however, contained a mildly charged electric battery, the object of which is to give the worm a shock in case it should desire to poke itself into it. At last reports the worm had learned its lesson pretty well and continually going to the right when It was put into the glass dish. This would be bad enough if. It stopped there, but does any one In touch with the scientific mind imagine it will not push thes possibilities of this find to the limit? Now that the angleworm has shown he can think, he must be made to think. Heretofore nothing has bothered him because nothing interested him. Now he will have to worry over the high cost of living, Christmas bills, auto repairs, and church and club dues. Moreover, having once shown his ca pacity, he will be led to pursue it to its logical end. lie will ha ve to learn auction bridge and golf; harder still, he will have to master the marking of his ballot and take sides on the suffrage question. Science - has worked A. Worm a cruel wrong by dragging him Into the Intellectual light. If he had to think, which, between ourselves, seems en tirely superfluous, and if he must be taught, why not plan so that thought and action should work to his better ment and joy? If Professor Yerkes could teach angleworms to climb trees when fishermen hunt for bait how much nobler his work would be; how philanthropic, how inspiring! But with our knowledge of vivisec tion it would be foolish to expect this sympathetic attitude. IF Senator Kern was a republican what a terrible howl you would hear from some of these democratic sheets, because he was appearing in a lawsuit at Indianapolis when the people are paying him to serve them as senator in Washington. OLD Judge Anderson who holds court In Hammond now and anon made a witness in his court the other day remove a gob of gum and so startled the man that he swallowed it. No damage suit has been brought yet. HER BADGE OF SERVICE. Miss Emily Ewing, a beautiful New York girl, who was terribly disfigured for life in rescuing some children

from a fire, says she will, not mind the disfigurement, that It Is her badge of service done to humanity, her medal, and that she will now And something to think about besides merely being pretty. In all great souls we must note this power of escape from the calami

ties that overtake and crush lesser spirits says the Cleveland Press. They hanged Nathan Hale, but his spirit eluded them; on the scaffold his spirit found refuge in a high emo tion, patriotism, and he wa3 happier than any British officer around him as he exclaimed: "My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country." Sickness, failure, treachery, bereavement, slander and death, like wolves, are after us from the cradle to the grave. We can not only rise above them, one and all, if we will, but turn hem Into blessings. Emily Ewing, losing her beauty. learned the Joy of usefulness. Nathan Hale, ''"ing, became immortal. Out of mud, say the orientals, springs the loftus flower, out of clay come gold and diamonds. The sweetest, rarest most precious joys of life come only to the soul that has been crushed. PHILADELPHIA paper says that Lillian Russell is trying to break into Pittsburg society. Didn't know they had anything like that in Pittsburg. WE trust that mother is getting a fresh coat of asbestos for father's false whiskers so that the day may be dehorned of its dangers. HEARD BY R U B E TIME now to staft bringing in the Yule log. WE always suspected it, now we know that it is true: "The split fee. it ia asserted, not only recompenses the physician who gets the case for the surgeon, but encourages him to get others. In this way many needless operations are performed." RecordHerald dispatch. WE are willing to make a Naw Year resolution to give up qur seat in a crowded car to a woman if the woman will make one agreement to say "Thank. you" when it is done. WITH MAYOR KXOTTS IX Cl'BA. (By our special correspondent, Heanery Coldbottle.) . On Board Ward Liner "Santiago" En Route to Havana, Dec. 10. We ara now headed for the Cuban republic. Mayor Knotts is the big show on board and the captain feels highly honored. Several Cuban secret service men are on the ship, as there is a suspicion that the Gary statesman is coming to tVe island to start a revolution. We had a heavy storm yesterday and the first mate requested his honor not to go on the star board side as it would list the ship too much. I have started to study Spanish, but I learn from the boatswain that I won't need to know much of it, as all of the Cuban bartenders can talk English. The mayor sent a wireless back to Chief Martin to keep the board of works from let ting any street contracts while he was away. He also gave orders not to let ny street and sewer contractors come too near- the city hall safe. The president of Cuba wirelessed that he would have a brass band and a regiment of rurales at the docks to meet us, but his honor wired back that he was traveling Incognito so there will be no reception. They have good refrigerating facilities on board these tropical ships and the Bud keeps as cool as it does in the states. H. C. WHY is it that plumbers are always looked on with suspicion? POSTMASTER GENERAL has ruled that no cows or cook stoves may be sent in the new parcels post. This will cause consternation in the Lowell dry lands, as some of the faithful ex pocted that the R. F. D. men would have to deliver kegs to them. ALBANIA is seeking a rules? Now who wants to be king of a good for nothing country -with no railroads, a cross between the Michigan City sand dunes and a back street in Muncle, and with a lot of skirted men toting pistols like they do in South Broadway? NOW talking of having a year of 13 months with 28 days to the month, or 364 days in all. This will enable the poor railroad employe to get in an ex tra monthly pay day. But at the same time It will also enable the greedy landlords to collect an extra month's rent. "THE year 1913 promises to be crowded with great events of all kinds." New York World. Including, we suppose, a disclosure of how the Hon. Tommy R, Marshall will be able to pay the rent on a $15,000 house at Washington out of a $12,000 salary. METROPOLITAN woes of the Hub: "It is quite probable that the new electric company which recently took the light plant In this city have tak en the wrong animal by the tail, and since the first bills were made out by the new regime trouble has been brewing. The people of Crown Point will no be bull-dozed, and rather than be "touched," and worse comes to worse they will go back to tallow candles if necessary. They will be backed by the council which can make it very unpleasant for the company if they feel so disposed, and they feel like i already. The facts are the people in Crown Point are easy and can be bled some in the right spirit, but

Up and Down in INDIANA STABBIMO OVER CASiDY. After an argument about a box of andy, Paul Trlnce and William Rice, of Clear Creek, fought on the southeast corner of the square in Bloomlngton late Saturday night, and Trince was badly cut on the face and neck. He received three wounds that bled profuse ly and had to be taken to the Bloomlngton Hospital. Rice escaped in the big crowd, but was captured early yes terday morning by Offcera Hinkle and Shaw, and is now In jail. THREATENED WITH FIRE. Fire that it seemed for a time would destroy the business seclon of Lafay ette was discovered early Sunday in the dye house of Fred Huch on Columbia street. Flames were shooting out of the second-story window, and la a short time, awing to a high wind, the entire block was ablaze. Guests at the Hotel Lahr, only had a short dlsance from the scene of the fire, were awakened and many hurriedly prepar ed to leave the hotel. All of the city department responded to the alarm and the blaze was extinguished after the building was damaged about $2,000. The property belonged to the heirs of the ate Senator John K. McIIugh. FALLS INTO VAT, Herman Biggs, 60 years old, fell Into a malt vat at the Old vincennes distil lery. He was promptly resetted, but the skin and flesh from his shoulders down were cooked. He remained In conscious agony six hours before relieved by death. The widow and three sons survive. GARAGE MAX KILLED. Abraham L. Shambaugh. C5 years old, the first man to open a garage in Lafayette, was probably fatally injured last night, when an automobile he was driving was struck by the westbound Continental Limited on the Wabash Railroad at the crossing at Westpoint, ten miles west of Lafayette. The train was running sixty-five miles an hour and Shambaugh failed to see it approaching. The car waa demolished and Shambaugh was picked up beside the track In an unconscious condition. His head was crushed and it is boieved he is injured internally. Three physicians were sent from Ijtfayette and he was brought in the city ambulance to his home in West Lafayette. His condition was critical at a late hour ast night. Shambaugh, in the last ten years, has amassed a fortune in the automobile business at Lafayette. BOYS IN HINTING ACCIDENT.
